lytield in the city of Macon last March
while was attending the Supreme Court
there. | was standing in front of the Ma
con Telegraph office talking to j. c. Han
son and saw John Hollyfield pass on the OPP
pOsite side of the street, and knowing that
he was a fugitive from justice, | watched
him and saw him go into a saloon; l fol
lowed on down to the Hotel Lanier when he
came out of the saloon, and went down on
the same side of the street that he went
up going toward the park. He
walked on down the street and | followed,
taking a good lcok at him; am confident 1t
was he; / know it to be MIN. just about
the end of the block he crossed the street to
the side was on, when he was within p or
80 feet of me. | might be mistaken, but |
am as confident that it was John Hollyfield
as ] am of my existence. / did not speak
to him, because | did not care to further
cultivate his acquaintance. He had grip
sack in his hand, and wore dark mixed suit.
| was looking more particularly at his face;
his whiskers appeared to be longer than l
ever saw them before. l spoke to my family
of having seen him. A year or so ago l
heard he was down the country somewhere.
Mr.. G. F. Ballard told me he had heard he
was down the country last year. T.. NJ.
